Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

On this day, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived at Tianshui Academy. To welcome these uninvited guests, almost all the high-ranking members of the Four Elements Academy were present, including Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu. Clearly, the guests were of very high status.

Logically speaking, the Four Elements Academy has always been led by the Divine Wind Academy, so why have they all gone to the Heavenly Water Academy? Could it be that the matter has something to do with the Heavenly Water Academy?

Yang Ping'an also secretly infiltrated Tianshui Academy to find out who these people were, so that he could deal with any potential dangers in advance.

With Yang Ping'an's current strength, as long as he doesn't want others to discover him, no one can find him at all. He directly transforms into a shadow and hides on the roof beam. In particular, the Golden Six Wings have a disguise skill, and his whole body seems to blend into the roof beam in the room.

However, Yang Ping'an was also surprised when he saw who it was.

The group that arrived was led by a titled Douluo, who was none other than Meng Shenji, the current guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire and the former teaching committee member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As the only titled Douluo in the Heaven Dou Empire, Meng Shenji has a lot on his plate, and it's unexpected that he's even ended up at Tianshui Academy.

Besides Meng Shenji, there were also Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong. Yu Xiaogang, as the chief of soul masters of the Heaven Dou royal family, was only responsible for training soul masters for the Heaven Dou royal family. Why would he come here, and with Liu Erlong and Flander?

There were two other people. Judging from their attire, they should be from the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The people from the Haotian Sect seemed rather flamboyant, while the people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect appeared relatively low-key.

However, this person from the Clear Sky Sect was just an ordinary Soul Douluo, while the person from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was actually just a Soul Emperor, probably a Soul Emperor with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. It was probably just representing an attitude.

Shui Qingrou spoke first: "Distinguished guests from the Heavenly Dou Empire, what brings you to our Four Elements Academy?"

The group clearly centered their attention on Meng Shenji, so Shui Qingrou directly asked him a question, since he was the only Title Douluo among them.

Before Meng Shenji could speak, a member of the Haotian Sect spoke first: "I am Tang Yu, from the Haotian Sect. I recently heard that Yang Ping'an, whom our Haotian Sect has been hunting, has come to Tianshui Academy. Therefore, I have been ordered by the Sect Master to come and investigate. I hope you will hand over Yang Ping'an."

Shui Qingrou simply relaxed for a moment: "Senior of Haotian Sect, I don't know where you got the news that Yang Ping'an is hiding in my Tianshui Academy. I have never seen Yang Ping'an, nor have my disciples."

Tang Yu sneered: "A few days ago, strange phenomena appeared at your Tianshui Academy. Besides the ice phoenix, a golden dragon also appeared. Who else could it be but Yang Ping'an?"

Shui Qingrou remained calm: "Senior is joking. That day, Bing'er just encountered some problems during her cultivation. No one came. We can't assume she's at my Tianshui Academy just because of a few unusual phenomena."

"If that's the case, there are countless strange phenomena in the world; it can't be Yang Ping'an everywhere."

Tang Yu seemed a little angry: "What did you say? Do you think my Haotian Sect would slander you?"

Everyone only glanced at Tang Yu and ignored his expression. If it weren't for the sake of the Clear Sky Sect, how could a Soul Douluo have the opportunity to act so recklessly here?

Yang Ping'an on the roof beam was a bit puzzled. The Haotian Sect should know his strength, so why did they dare to send a mere Soul Douluo? Even Tang Xiao might not be able to do anything to him. The only person in the entire Haotian Sect that he was wary of was Tang Chen.

Meng Shenji seemed to quickly smile and smooth things over: "Mr. Tang Yu, since Yang Ping'an is not at Tianshui Academy and we have not found any trace of him, we cannot make a decision arbitrarily based on a single indication."

Tang Yu snorted coldly and said nothing more. The group hadn't come to Tianshui Academy to look for Yang Ping'an; these words were just an excuse.

Meng Shenji continued, "Deans, Yang Ping'an did indeed have a good relationship with your disciples. It's normal for the Haotian Sect to have some doubts. I hope you can understand."

Shui Qingrou bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the Dream God, you have come to our Four Elements Academy, surely not to find Yang Ping'an?"

Meng Shenji smiled slightly: "Of course, finding Yang Ping'an is only part of the matter. The main thing is that our Emperor wrote to your Elemental Academy some time ago, inviting you to move the academy to Tiandou City. The location has already been prepared for you. I wonder when you will move to Tiandou City?"

"Furthermore, I've noticed that you've been quite active lately. If you need any assistance, the Heavenly Dou Empire's army is ready to help you at any time, which will also ensure your safety along the way."

The deans of the four elemental academies exchanged glances, and finally, they got to the point.

Feng Xuan, the dean of Shenfeng Academy, spoke directly: "To be honest, Your Majesty, although we have made some moves, we have no plans to move the academy to Tiandou City."

Meng Shenji still smiled and said, "I wonder if His Majesty's conditions are not good enough, or if there are any other requirements. You can bring them up now, and I can agree to them on His Majesty's behalf."

The dean of Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Lie, had a rather fiery temper: "Your Majesty, do we really need to spell things out? We plan to move the academy to the far north, not to Heaven Dou City."

Meng Shenji's smile gradually faded: "According to Dean Huo Lie, you don't intend to support the Heaven Dou Empire's confrontation with the Spirit Empire? You should know that the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are also fully supporting our Heaven Dou Empire. The Empire will not allow any opposing forces within its borders."

Shui Qingrou's face darkened: "Why must Your Majesty press on so aggressively? You were once a member of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so you should understand the attitude of our Elemental Academy. We are just an ordinary Soul Master Academy and do not want to get involved in these disputes in the Soul Master world."

Meng Shenji fell silent upon hearing this. He was also in the education industry and wanted to devote himself to education. He even had a good relationship with several deans of the Element Academy. Unfortunately, he was only able to become a Title Douluo with the strong support of the Heaven Dou Royal Family. He had already entered this vortex and could no longer leave.

Yu Xiaogang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "All this talk boils down to not wanting to confront the Spirit Empire, being afraid of its power. Do you really want to watch the Spirit Empire launch wars at will and disrupt the peace of the Soul Master world?"

Everyone present seemed a little surprised by Yu Xiaogang's words. After all, whether it was the four deans or the people from the Heaven Dou Empire, they were all experts at the Soul Douluo level or above, while Yu Xiaogang was obviously just a Soul Venerable.

Shui Qingrou spoke softly, "Mr. Yu Xiaogang, you seem to have misunderstood something. We are just an academy, not a sect. The main purpose of an academy is simply to teach and educate people."

A hint of anger seemed to flash in Yu Xiaogang's eyes: "But the Spirit Empire destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. They are clearly ambitious and want to unify the whole world. Are you just going to let them continue like this?"

Shui Qingrou's lips seemed to curl into a mocking smile: "Mr. Yu Xiaogang, what do these things have to do with us? I've already said that we're just an academy and don't want to get involved in the sect struggles of the Soul Master world."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Yu Xiaogang quickly retorted, "If everyone in the Soul Master world only seeks self-preservation like you, wouldn't that be condoning the Spirit Empire? Especially since you are from the Elemental Academy and clearly have the strength, yet you don't want to do anything, this is simply condoning crime."

Shui Qingrou looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he were a fool, ignoring him completely. Instead, she spoke to Flander beside her: "Dean Flander, Your Majesty Dream God, you are also leaders of advanced Soul Master academies. As Soul Master academies, isn't our responsibility to raise our children? Are we just going to watch them go to the battlefield?"

Meng Shenji and Flander felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing Shui Qingrou's words. After all, although the Soul Master Academy had many students, they were all low-level Soul Masters and still a group of children. They couldn't possibly admit that their idea was to send these children to the battlefield.

Tang Yu of the Clear Sky Sect suddenly spoke up: "Dean, if my information is correct, the Spirit Empire also forced you to join, but nothing came of it afterwards. Could it be that you have secretly sided with the Spirit Empire?"

Shui Qingrou's face turned cold: "Mr. Tang Yu, I know about the hatred between your Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Empire. Our Elemental Academy is weak and has no desire to get involved, nor do we have the strength to do so. Besides, if we joined the Spirit Empire, we wouldn't want to move the academy to the far north."

In fact, each of the Four Elements Academy has more than 500 students and nearly 100 teachers. The total number of Soul Masters they have is probably greater than that of the so-called Upper Three Sects. No one dares to underestimate this force. Their weakness is that they do not have any truly top-notch experts or Title Douluos.

Seeing that the two sides seemed unable to reach an agreement, the Four Elements Academy was unwilling to offer any conditions, clearly indicating that it did not want to participate in this earth-shattering battle.

At this moment, Tang Yu suddenly stood up, a Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, and eight spirit rings appeared at the same time, two yellow, two purple and four black, clearly demonstrating his level eighty-eight spirit power.

"No one is allowed to question the affairs of my Clear Sky Sect. I'm here this time; do you expect us Title Douluo elders to come before you'll compromise next time?"

The Dean of the Four Elements remained silent, but Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu all stood up and simultaneously displayed eight spirit rings. In particular, Shui Bing'er's eighth spirit ring was a 100,000-year spirit ring, which even Meng Shenji felt was extremely pressured.

Seeing that the two sides seemed about to break off relations, Meng Shenji quickly tried to smooth things over: "We are all Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Empire, so let's not have this kind of infighting. If we can't reach an agreement now, we can discuss it later."

After some communication, the people from the Heavenly Dou Empire left. Meng Shenji's expression didn't change much; he looked like a kind-hearted person with a smile on his face.

Tang Yu and Yu Xiaogang were somewhat indignant, but in terms of strength, they were no match for the members of the Elemental Academy. On the other hand, the Soul Emperor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remained silent throughout the conversation, seemingly unconcerned about it.

Yang Ping'an was also a little puzzled. The Heaven Dou Empire and the Haotian Sect should basically know the strength of the Elemental Academy, so why would they do something so pointless?

Yang Ping'an carefully observed his surroundings with his spiritual power and indeed detected the aura of a Title Douluo in the distance. It seemed to be Tang Lie from the Clear Sky Sect. He had probably come to test the waters, mainly to have Tang Lie investigate whether Yang Ping'an was at the Elemental Academy. (End of Chapter)
